Sound Restrictions: Due to the county restrictions, the skidpad has a 92db sound limit. Therefore, all cars that are participating in the school must go through an AMP conducted sound check on the road course between 8am-930am. Please ensure no one tries to "sandbag" the sound test because if they violate the 92 db sound while on the skidpad (there's a live county meter reading 24/7), we are required to end their day.

BFGoodrich Tires announced today the 12 drivers who will make up the 2013 BFGoodrich Tires/Wide Open Excursions “Baja Challenge” (BC) race team that will compete in the 46th Annual Tecate SCORE Baja 1000 on Nov. 14-17.

As in previous years, BFGoodrich Tires will place several of its brand ambassadors alongside guests and a Sports Car Club of America (SCCA) National Champion to take part in the most grueling desert race on the planet. This year, BFGoodrich Tires will have two entries with a total of 12 drivers looking to defend the BC class title.

Team BFGoodrich members included in this year’s running are made up of veteran racers and automotive experts – some new to the experience and others - wily veterans.

Gilsinger recently won the Touring 3 (T3) class at the 50th SCCA Runoffs at Road America and for that won the most unique contingency award in club racing – a seat on the BFGoodrich Tires BC team. Gilsinger, who returns for his second Baja experience, will take himself out his Acura TL with BFGoodrich g-force R1-S tires and step into the custom built buggy on BFGoodrich All-Terrain T/A tires in Baja, as he looks to continue his on-road successes in the dirt.

Last year, the BFGoodrich team secured the win by nearly an hour with Hollywood TV producer Bud Brutsman, Tucker, Brad and Roger Lovell and two SCCA Runoff Champions- Luke Wilwert and Mike Crawford.

The all-star motorsports cast will take to the desert in the coming weeks to pre-run the course in the Wide Open Excursions race cars that will soon be put to the test.

The BFGoodrich Tires BC Challenge team will be among many teams in Baja riding on BFGoodrich All-Terrain T/A tires the exclusive tire of the entire Wide Open Excursion Baja Challenge class.

"We have doubled our efforts this year in putting together two of the most talented teams the challenge class has seen,” said Peter Calhoun, motorsports manager for BFGoodrich Tires. “Their collective experience in Baja as well as fabricating, engineering and racing makes for a unique and talented group looking to tackle what looks to be the toughest course in Baja 1000 recent memory."

The 2013 Tecate SCORE Baja 1000 will start and finish in Ensenada, Baja California, Mexico and run through a treacherous 900 miles. Trucks on BFGoodrich Tires have won the overall four-wheel title 55 times combined in the SCORE Baja 500 and 1000, including 25 of the past 27 years and a record stretch of 20 consecutive victories in the 1000 (1986–2005). More information about the ultimate desert race is available at www.score-international.com.

Wide Open Excursions provides "arrive and drive" seats for the SCORE Baja 1000, SCORE Baja 500 and for adventure tours. BFGoodrich tires have logged more than 4.5 million miles in Baja with Wide Open Excursions and the BFGoodrich All-Terrain T/A tire and BFGoodrich Mud-Terrain T/A tire are exclusive tires for the Baja Challenge race cars. More information on the Wide Open Excursions is available at www.wideopenbaja.com.

A look at the BFGoodrich Tires Baja Challenge Race Teams:

Larry McRae is president of Poison Spyder Customs, a designer and manufacturer of parts and accessories for Jeeps and other vehicles. Larry was one of the early stars of the new sport of competitive rock crawling, winning several championships as both driver and spotter.

*Kyle Tucker is owner of Detroit Speed Engineering and a veteran of the Baja 1000. Tucker was an engineer in Detroit before heading south to open Detroit Speed and Engineering with his wife Stacy. The pair set up shop in the heart of stock car racing country where they design, fabricate and install modern engineering for classic muscle cars.

*John Williams is a long time off-road driving enthusiast and competitive racer. He first hit the scene competing heavily in rock crawling. Since then he's expanded into other segments of off-road competition, racing in the Baja 1000. Now he is currently the Off-Road Operations Manager at Miller Motorsports Park. He oversees a number of programs ranging from vehicle and product testing to the ins and outs of the Off-Road Driving School.

Bryan is a long time Solo competitor and inaugural winner of the GT Academy. Bryan is an alumnus of the Evolution Performance Driving school as well as a multi-time SCCA Solo National Champion. Bryan will be back in STX this year after coming off a 2012 National Championship in the same class (in Charlie Davis' 1993 BMW 325is), but this year with his personal 1991 300ZX, hoping to be the first repeat winner in STX.

The Evolution Super Shootout presented by BFGoodrich Tires used class runs from Saturday to set the first 32 qualifiers in the bracket. Once the top 32 drivers were seeded, a 16-driver Last Chance Qualifier bracket was set based on indexed times from an additional four runs. Finally, the last 16 positions were filled with the top eight Ladies Class finishers, plus an additional eight drivers pulled from a random drawing – the one remaining opportunity to get into the field.

On Saturday, the threatening skies opened up, causing a torrential downpour only three miles away, but the course stayed dry for the 152 entrants. In contrast, Sunday’s weather was pleasant with temperatures in the mid to high 80s.
Davis (C Street Prepared, MiataRoadster.com Mazda Miata) stood out early, setting Saturday’s fastest indexed time of 61.134 seconds. With that run, Davis was seeded as the top qualifier heading into Sunday’s bracket competition.

Driving a car that suffered exhaust damage when some rivets came lose in the first round of bracket competition causing a loss of power, Davis defeated Mark Daddio (Super Sport, Chevrolet Corvette) in the semifinals of Bracket A. In the bracket finals, Davis matched up with Tom O’Gorman (Super Street Modified, G-Fab Racing/Street Tires FTW!/Full Throttle Nissan 240SX), who took out G.J. Dixon (Super Sport, Grand Prix New York Porsche GT3) in the semis. In the bracket final, Davis wound up on top, earning a spot in the final four.

Each driver in the final-four bracket had the opportunity to make two initial runs. Corrales beat Gott, and then Davis took out Kuehl, setting up a final matchup between Corrales and Davis for all the marbles. In the end, Davis would emerge victorious. In the consolation runoff, Kuehl took the win, giving him third place in the competition.

Finally, the last 16 positions were filled with the top eight Ladies Class finishers, plus an additional eight drivers pulled from a random drawing – the one remaining opportunity to get into the field.

The event was well attended by members of the Milwaukee Region, accounting for more than half of the 130 entries. The competitors enjoyed rain-free skies with temperatures in the upper 80s and high humidity.

Set up with Miller Park, the home of Major League Baseball’s Milwaukee Brewers, as a backdrop, the course had something for every driver. For those who like flat-out speed and g-force, there were sweepers and high-speed turns, and for drivers preferring more precision driving, there were plenty of low-speed turns and an eight-cone slalom section.

One of the highlights of the weekend came on Saturday afternoon. Following the official timed runs, there was extra time that allowed for some unofficial fun runs. With a quick tweak of the course, those who chose to participate were allowed to run the course backwards for nearly two hours. Each competitor that ran got some bang for their entry fee buck, scoring an additional six to 10 reverse-track attempts on the modified course.
Aro (C Street Prepared, SoloPro Driving School Mazda Miata), the 2011 C Street Prepared National Champion, put himself in the catbird seat heading into Sunday’s competition after he set the fastest indexed time of 58.159 seconds during the qualifying runs.

In Bracket B, Brandon Lavende (C Modified, Van Diemen RF85 FF) came from the middle of the field, getting the win over John Ma (Street Touring R, Calder Racing Mazda MX-5) in the semifinals. Lavende’s eventual opponent in the bracket final, Sam Makhlouf (Super Stock, Chevrolet Corvette), took the win against class top-qualifier Eric Thompson (E Street Prepared, MLS Motor Racing/SPS Solotime Chevrolet Camaro). In the bracket final, Lavende sent Makhlouf home, winning the showdown and earning a spot in the final bracket.

In the LCQ Bracket, Chris Fenter (Super Stock, Chevrolet Corvette) took the semifinal matchup against Chris Pruett (C Modified, -pru-/Calhoun Motorsports Swift DB1). On the other side of the bracket, Bart Hockerman (Street Touring Xtreme, BarTuned/Feal Suspension Subaru BRZ) pulled out a semifinal victory over Raleigh Boreen (C Street Prepared, AIM Tuning/Wizn By Racing Mazda Miata) by less than 0.1-second. However, Fenter put a stop to Hockerman’s momentum, taking the bracket and earning a spot in the finals.

In the opening rounds of the final four, each driver put down two runs. As a result, Lavende bested Moore to get to the final pairing with Aro, who beat Fenter. In the matchup for all the marbles, Aro won with a run that was more than one second faster than Lavende. Fenter took home third place after winning the consolation runoff against Moore, who also owns the car Fenter was driving. Fenter borrowed the Chevrolet Corvette for this event and was able to perform exceptionally well considering the lack of seat time and well-worn tires that were on the car.

As with previous Shootouts, the Peru Evolution Super Shotout has proven an incredible format for the SCCA's official car manufacturer, Mazda.

After an incredibly tough 64 car Shootout, the HighPressurePerformance / LudwigTune / Kaaz USA SSM RX-7 of Carter Thompson out of Murfreesboro, TN came out on top. Carter is the current SSM National Champion and showed why this weekend. Carter had to get past names like Elzinga, Montgomery and O'Gorman to make his way to the top of the A bracket in the Shootout and eventually beating Eric Campbell's smoking fast Campbell Disaster Kleenup International DSP BMW 330Ci.

The Indianapolis region SCCA did an incredible job at putting together an event with the help of the National staff this weekend. Raleigh Boreen's course was both challenging to drive, but easy to see fun to navigate. Watching the FP and DSP cars round the showcase sweeper was a great indication of how much fun everyone was having on course. Despite the constant threat of rain throughout the entire weekend, the grippy yet smooth concrete of the Peru site, the excellent Saturday welcome dinner and laid back feel of this event made everyone in attendance excited about this great new Solo format.

"The best feature is running the same course on Sunday- this way you can get right down to social stuff after competition on Saturday- no need to walk another course. I like that if you make the cut Saturday- you only really need to be in driving form by noon Sunday- another social bonus." noted Carl Wener, owner of the Perry Performance SM Mitsubishi Evolution X. "Watching A bracket in the shootout was real fun- I will stay for this again."

Brian Huber, running the his SS Chevrolet Corvette Z06 noted, "I liked the format of the Match (Tour). It had elements of the Tours and Pros and I like both types for various reasons. I drove probably the best I've driven in a while and the locals out there that know me noticed. THAT meant more to me than where I finished. I liked the fact that you didn't have to learn a new course and you could think about what you did the day before and improve on it."

The next Match Tour is set for Fountain, CO on June 22nd and 23rd. You can register by clicking here. Note that Pikes Peak International Hill Climb stars, including Paul Dallenbach and Cody Loveland will be on hand with their cars for meet'n'greet opportunities. This is sure to be one of the coolest SCCA National Solo events!
